Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary
The call was strongly positive, with substantial increases in ordering physicians and test volume, Medicaid coverage established in Illinois and Florida, expanding commercial and payer engagement, strengthening clinical and health economic evidence, and a stated cash runway into fiscal year 2029. The main challenges were lower third-quarter ASPs caused by a low- or non-reimbursed patient mix and the 12-month to 18-month timeframe typically required to move providers toward broad adoption. Management characterized the company as transitioning into commercialization with significant work still ahead.
Sera expects to pursue CE Mark approval for PreTRM Global in 2027, publish its PRIME health economic analysis in the fourth quarter, and see flat or down operating expenses in 2027 while significantly increasing the size of its commercial team; it believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations into fiscal year 2029. Management expects meaningful increases in product traction next calendar year, especially as it transitions to the second half of 2027, and is hoping at least 1 or 2 additional states will enact Medicaid coverage in fiscal year 2027. In Illinois and Florida, management is hoping to achieve low single-digits percentage penetration in each state in the first year and quickly accelerating afterwards; at, let's say, 20%, 30% of each state, revenue could be in tens of millions of dollars.
- Strong PreTRM Commercial MomentumCompared with the first quarter of 2026, the number of physicians ordering PreTRM nearly tripled and test volume increased approximately fivefold. Third-quarter test volume also increased 54% sequentially from the second quarter.
- Medicaid Coverage Established in Illinois and FloridaIllinois and Florida enacted legislation requiring state Medicaid coverage of the PreTRM test and added the company’s PLA code to their respective fee schedules. Together, the states represent approximately 7 million newly covered lives and approximately 140,000 Medicaid births per year.
- Florida Represents a Major Reimbursed Market OpportunityFlorida has nearly 90,000 Medicaid births and approximately 4 million Medicaid lives. The state established coverage for Medicaid beneficiaries, added PreTRM as a covered service under its biomarker testing law, and established pricing on the state fee schedule. Management indicated Florida pricing is approximately $450, or in the low 400s.
- Illinois Commercial Activation ProgressIn the first month of Illinois field activity, Sera conducted over 100 field activities across 60 practices and reached over 70 providers. Within two months, the company onboarded 9 providers and 8 accounts, including some providers delivering 500 or more babies per year.
- Florida Commercial Expansion UnderwaySera began replicating its Illinois commercial playbook in Florida, hiring additional regional account executives, aligning territories based on Medicaid birth volume and provider concentration, completing sales training, and conducting approximately 30 engagements across practices, including multiple physician education programs.
- Expanded Medical Education and Implementation SupportThe medical science liaison team launched a PreTRM implementation playbook to help accounts incorporate testing into their workflows. During the quarter, Sera conducted 48 medical education meetings, 24 implementation meetings, multiple conference presentations, and ongoing field training programs. Two physician advisory boards are planned by year-end, one in Illinois and one in Florida.
- Growing Digital Awareness and Demand GenerationPreTRM.com traffic increased dramatically during the third quarter after Illinois-specific educational resources were introduced. The Illinois physician site generated over 1,000 page views, while patient education asset page views more than doubled during the quarter. Engagement rates were significantly above industry benchmarks.
- Commercial Payer Engagement ExpandingSera has 4 active commercial payer pilot programs underway, including 2 with major national health plans, and is discussing a potential multistate 2027 implementation with one of the nation's largest managed care organizations.
- Evidence Package Continues to StrengthenThe company expects to publish its health economic analysis from the PRIME randomized controlled trial in the fourth quarter. Management stated that this would complete the core evidence package sought by many payers, including analytic validation, clinical validation, clinical utility, and health economic impact. The company also cited evidence demonstrating reductions in NICU admissions and health care costs.
- Clinical Guideline and Conference RecognitionThe European Association of Perinatal Medicine mentioned PreTRM as a potential tool to support improved prediction of preterm birth risk in recently released guidelines. Multiple PRIME-related presentations were accepted to the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Global Conference, including an oral presentation on first-time mothers and a top-five-ranked health economics poster.
- International Expansion ProgressSera successfully completed its registration study for PreTRM Global, its kit-based version of PreTRM, and is working with its notified body on a CE Mark submission. The company remains on track to pursue CE Mark approval in 2027 and is in discussions with potential laboratory and in vitro diagnostic commercial partners. Management stated that the addressable market outside the United States is at least as large as the domestic market.
- Operating Expense Reduction and Capital DisciplineTotal operating expenses declined 11% sequentially following targeted cost-saving efforts initiated after the fiscal second quarter, despite incremental commercial investments supporting Illinois and Florida expansion. Management is evaluating additional structural cost savings and expects flat or down operating expenses in 2027 while significantly increasing the size of the commercial team.
- Strong Liquidity PositionSera ended the quarter with $72.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and stated that it believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations into fiscal year 2029.
- Grant-Supported Research IncomeThe company recognized its first milestone under a subcontract award to provide contract research services supporting research on a new prenatal test. The current grant allocation runs into early 2028, and the first payment was recognized as other income in the quarter.
- Large State Market OpportunityFlorida has approximately 225,000 births annually, including about 90,000 Medicaid births, while Illinois has approximately 125,000 births, including a little under 50,000 Medicaid births. Management stated that penetration of 20% to 30% in each state could represent tens of millions of dollars, while the initial target is low single-digit percentage penetration in each state during the first year.
- Potential Additional Medicaid ExpansionSera is aware of another state actively pursuing similar Medicaid legislation in early 2027 and a fourth state evaluating options. Management stated that it hopes at least 1 or 2 additional states could fall into fiscal year 2027.
- Favorable Reimbursement and Maternal-Care Policy EnvironmentSera is tracking a proposed 2027 CPT structure that would move away from the traditional global obstetric package and allow prenatal encounters to be reported individually. Management stated that the proposed structure is consistent with PreTRM’s value proposition. The company is also evaluating existing legislative actions and laws supporting improved maternal and neonatal care that collectively impact nearly 1.4 million births annually.
